Mobile and wearable interfaces try to integrate digital information into everyday experiences but usually require more attention than is appropriate and often fail to do so in a natural and socially acceptable way. This paper presents "ReachMedia," a system for seamlessly providing just-in-time information for everyday objects, built around a wireless wristband with an RFID reader to detect objects that the user is interacting with. It enables hands- and eyes- free interaction with relevant information using a unique combination of audio output and gestural input, allowing socially acceptable, on-the-move interaction. This paper will focus on the general merits of the design, and the novel gesture recognition technique used.
